Its fully manual.
Kuhn speader settings

Check the agitators in the bottom of the hopper, they are on a ratchet bearing, so should turn slowly.

On the turn of the disc, they both turn slowly.

I get where you are coming from and have wondered how people get around this. Thought I was just being thick !
Ive got a basic poverty spec Kuhn axis and I tend not to bother altering pto speed for headlands due to what you mentioned about different application rate, aswell as the inner disc throwing slightly less. In reality it’s not too bad as you can sometimes set fins on telemat to fine tune.
Don’t know whether other makes manage to control border spreading of all products without altering pto speed ?

YES thank you. I thought I was being thick as well when @Andy26 was doing his best to explain it to me.
I did mention to the rep that at the lower rpm the inner disc would be slower but at the time it hadn't dawned that the tractor would also be going slower.
There did seem more tuning on the limiter than there is on our current Amazone.
I noticed there was no taps on the hydraulic lines to the fert openers. Without them on our Amazone they would gradually creep open. Is it not a problem on a kuhn?

I’ve never had then creep open but once when I had the opening on the negative spool on tractor and close on the positive, I’ve had it gradually creep to close thus reducing rate. Connected up the other way never had any issues.
I have a rauch 30.2 M EMC, same as kuhn, and it didn't come with the telimat thinghie. Whenever i spread on the tramlines, on all the field edges there's a lot of fert ending up on the road or in the neighbours field. I tried reducing to two out of four sectionson the outside disk (it reduces a bit the flowvand moves the drop point) but there still is too much wasted fert.
I spoke to the dealer and they offered me a telimat kit for about 1000 euro + vat. If it does the job im sure it will pay for itself in less than two years, now the question is is it relatively easy to set up for diferent fert types and different widths? All my headlands and first tramlines are 10m from the field edges, then there is 24m between tramlines.

Rightly or wrongly I never alter ours
I hhave the rauch fertilizer chart app and it gives different settings for different fert types

Yes but it will still be saving you a hell of allot of fert on just the one setting

Yes, you change the fins on the Telmatt as per the settings for each fert type in the book/app, then just drop it in/out for the headland.
Unfortunately I think you find even with telimat you still end up with a lot or fert in the hedge back. You can change the vane angles on the telimat to stop it but then it tends to overdo the first 6m next to the tramline..

There are a couple of different settings in the book/app. One stops practically any fert going past the boundary, but meanstheoutside couple of metres are underdosed. The other puts full rate out to the edge but leaves a little bit of overspill.
